A new Instagram update merges DMs with Messenger chats
More than a year ago, Facebook announced its plans to merge Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger chats into one app and early signs of this effort and with the most recent update, Instagram's DMs are getting a major overhaul.
Reportedly iOS and Android Instagram users in the US are receiving an update telling them that they can message their friends on Facebook through the Instagram app even if they don't have an Instagram account. The update also makes DMs a lot more colorful, in line with the current Messenger chat aesthetics. Also, the icon in the upper-right corner of the Instagram app is replaced with the Messenger logo.
